Sunpu Castle
1-1 Sunpujokoen, Aoi Ward, Shizuoka, 420-0853, Japan
Known as ‘the Castle of the Floating Isle’, Sunpu Castle was originally built by shōgun Tokugawa Ieyasu in the 1600s. Although it was destroyed, the original site was preserved as a park, before a replica of the castle was constructed during the early nineties. Now, visitors can explore both the higashi gomon (eastern gate) and tatsumi yagura (three-storey keep), both of which are surrounded by a broad moat. It’s surrounded by Momijiyama Garden, a traditionally-styled park designed to imitate the castle’s daimyo garden. If you’re looking for a day trip that pairs a dose of history with beautiful scenery, Sunpu Castle is a great choice.
